Dear Experts,
I would like to know whether the member function “contour” of the classe "RooMinuit"
performs a likelihood profiling or it is simply a likelihood scan ?
Example of code:
RooAbsReal* NLL;
NLL = (*TotalPDF)->createNLL(*dataSet,Extended(true));
RooMinuit RooMin(NLL);
RooPlot myFrameNLL = RooMin.contour(*GetVar(*TotalPDF,“AfbS”),*GetVar(*TotalPDF,“FlS”),1.0,2.0,3.0);
In other words, does the “contour” re-minimise the likelihood with respect to the nuisance
parameters at every step of the parameters “AfbS” and “FlS” ?
Many thanks.
- Mauro.
